Description

Change the story and change the future – merging science and Indigenous knowledge to steer us towards a more benign Anthropocene


  • Author is ecologist working collaboratively with First Nations on integration of traditional knowledge with western science
  • Born and raised in Mexico City and has worked as a marine scientist in Coastal BC, Canada for over 20 years
  • Seeks to find ways of relating to the natural world and natural resources that help create a better future
  • Through his work in marine conservation, he has discovered a path where science and indigenous knowledge meet and work together to create better outcomes for everyone
  • Written to be culturally inclusive and relevant to both native and settler culture
  • Argues that the stories we tell about these changes will affect our future outcomes
  • At this pivotal moment in history, the most important story we can be telling ourselves is that humans are not inherently destructive.
  • We can recognize that indigenous cultures have lived and thrived for millennia with large populations within a finite resource base and large populations of indigenous cultures have lived sustainably for millennia
  • By integrating this traditional knowledge into modern scientific knowledge, a synergistic approach to resource management can be achieved
  • Similar to Sacred Ecology by Fikret Berkes, this book makes an important contribution to the work of reconciliation. It differs in that it has a personal approach and experimental perspective.
  • Takes off where Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer stopped by giving real life examples where Indigenous people are reclaiming control over their resources.
  • Uses real life examples to argue that when Indigenous people are legitimate partners in resource management, it is more likely to ensure the sustainability of those resources
  • Drawing from the author's personal experience as an ecologist, these stories encourage the reader to tell a new story about our future that is optimistic and hopeful

Audience:
Readers of Braiding Sweetgrass, people interested in natural conservation, climate change and ecology, Native American and Indigenous studies, students of climatology, archeology, anthropology, social science, resource management and ecology
